How to sell private jets to billionaires!
My name is Steve Varsano, and I have a company called The Jet Business. We're involved with the buying and selling of corporate jets. I live in the UK; I work in the UK. I set up my business in the UK, but my business is global.
The final purchase price was 28 million seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars. These aircraft we deal in range anywhere from 10 million dollars to about 90 million dollars. We got a little bit more than the owner actually wanted, so we're getting a bonus on it.
The people we deal with demand the best: the food, the restaurants, the hotels, the planes, the boats. Everything they do, they demand the best. I consider myself an incredibly lucky person. Why? Because I get to see things that most people in the world will never see.
Everybody asks me, "How can you be opening up a business like this when the economy's or there's a crisis, when everything's so negative?" My feeling is that I'm in this business for the rest of my life. So what better time is there than now? Why wait? It's sort of like somebody saying, "I'm going to go on a diet next week." Why don't you do it right now? Like the old Nike ad, just do it.
